I can't believe it's Thursday already. It's been a hectic week for a delivery business, let's just say. We got a lot of cancellations on Monday due to the bad weather and have been catching up ever since. Anyhow, here's a look at what we baked today. It's becoming our 'signature' baker's choice in some way.

Okay, so I'm thrilled that Cupcakes for a Cause week is finally here. I've posted about it previously here. Lenox Cupcakes is one of over 200 bakeries nationwide participating in a campaign to raise funds for CancerCare for Kids. Throughout this week (from September 21-27), proceeds from the sale of every cupcake will be donated to this cause. Please join us in making this campaign a success.

I am particularly thankful for the work that CancerCare does in providing free services to children and families affected by cancer. It takes a joint effort to keep that going and I hope you'll be a part of it. Not only do you get delicioso cupcakes, but you'll be giving to a worthy organization as well. Did I mention that we are topping the cupcakes with the cute-as-a-button sugar candies with the smiley face logo for CancerCare for Kids? In addition, the first 100 customers will receive a $20 gift card to 1800flowers.com.

It's a rainy, rainy day here in Georgia but we're out and about making our deliveries. By the way, if you work in downtown Atlanta and would like some FREE cupcakes for your office, send us an email ~ order@lenoxcupcakes.com with your deets and we'll deliver four dozen mini cupcakes for you to enjoy with your coworkers, free of charge.

Here's what we have today:

PB Chocolate

Chocolate Whisper

Red Velvet

Vanilla-Vanilla

Caramel Vanilla

I posted this on twitter as well so the first to respond, either way gets the free cupcakes. Have a great Monday!

UPDATE: And we have a winner! Our cupcakes have a new temporary home and we're heading out of DT Atl. Thanks everyone!

With all the chocolate around me, I couldn't help but have a Chocolate/Vanilla for breakfast. And this was before 7 am. Something tells me that's not my last cupcake for the day. Have a terrific Friday!

We also created a custom flavor for one of our clients. Just as an FYI - if there's a flavor you're craving that we don't have listed, just run it by us and we'll do our best to bring your vision to life. It's that simple. Have a fantastic day!

A few words about Banana Gregg - It is named after my son :-) When he was an itsy bitsy baby, his favorite thing to eat was a banana so of course when I had to come up with a name for my banana cupcake; it was only natural that I name it after him. K. Little known fact right there.Just as an added bonus, we're topping this yummolish organic banana cupcake with a sweet cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of our buttery caramel. Right in the middle of all this goodness, we've landed a thin, crispy, salty, banana chip on top of the mound of frosting. You've got to taste it to believe it. My camera's out (a little someone threw it on the floor the other day) but I'd love to show you this creation sometime.

If you're out and about at Lenox Mall and dreaming of some Stuart Weitzman shoes like yours truly, stop by their red carpet exhibit at Bloomingdales tomorrow. You'll not only get a chance to taste some of our cupcakes, but you'll also get a chance to win a free pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Event Details from the Bloomingdales website:Shop the Fall 2009 collection and see our exclusive Red Carpet presentation of replica shoes worn by your favorite actresses. Guess the number of gemstones on our special Stuart Weitzman shoe for a chance to win a pair!**No purchase necessary to enter, see sales associate for details.

Not that anyone asked, but here's what I would totally get this fall - one's kinda sensible, the other's kinda reckless. No prizes for guessing which is which.

It seems as though we've been baking the same flavors again and again. Yes, I'm looking at you, Sunny Lemon :-)

Caramel Vanilla has creeped in as a staple these past few weeks. Every other order includes Caramel Vanilla. I am looking forward to some old favorites taking center stage in the fall. Speaking of which, can you believe summer's almost over?
